The Tribes inspired free-to-play shooter Midair has now launched on Steam

Midair is a fast-paced jetpack shooter heavily inspired by the Tribes series of old. What this means in gameplay terms is that you will have to use 'skiing' mechanics and momentum to propel yourself across the map at absolutely ridiculous speeds, build defenses and guard your flag from enemies that might come from pretty much any angle, and naturally, master a variety of weapons in order to reliably land shots on enemies that are constantly flying around.

Rather than babble on, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer. It's a little bit on the short side, but it should still give you a pretty accurate idea of what Midair is all about. Have a look:

I haven't played it myself so take the following with a few grains of salt, but according to the Steam reviews Midair appears to be a decent successor to the Tribes series. However, while the gameplay itself seems to be solid, I've also seen a considerable amount of people bemoaning the bugs and lack of polish. So if you do decide to give Midair a try in order to experience all of the fast-paced action, make sure you're prepared to overlook a couple of flaws along the way.
